I Give Up on Conquering the Heroines - I Give Up on Conquering the Heroines chapter 230

Reunion (3)

The immediate threat had been dealt with, but the Alliance’s situation was far from good.

First of all, it was revealed that Linda had betrayed them.

The artificial soul that they had trusted to manage the Alliance’s records had turned against them and taken control of the 1st Fleet.

They had no idea how far her infiltration went, so there was no way to come up with a countermeasure.

For now, all wireless communications were cut off.

All clockwork machines and magical devices used within the Alliance were suspended.

The vast communication network that spanned the continent was decided to be completely scrapped.

“First, we need to eliminate Linda’s main body in the Clockwork City-“

“Linda’s main body is not in the Clockwork City.”

“How do you know that?”

“Because I destroyed the Archive. As the master of Linda’s body, I guarantee it. Linda’s main body is currently disconnected from all communication networks and is in hiding.”

“······.”

It didn’t take much effort for Eugene’s statement to be convincing.

With the existence of a force that had single-handedly defeated the fortress-like Archive and annihilated the 1st Fleet with a single blow, they had no choice but to believe him, even if it was just for show.

Of course, it was also a big help that Jill, Julia, and Yerina were actively supporting Eugene.

“Let’s take a break for 30 minutes and come back? It seems like it’s going to be a long one.”

“Yes. Let’s do that.”

“Eugene. Come to the back for a moment······.”

Every break time, Eugene was called away somewhere.

Apart from the urgency of the situation, they had yet to finish their dramatic reunion.

No. In fact, it was clear that it would never end.

Jill and Yerina, as if to make up for the time Eugene had been gone, refused to leave his side.

For fear that he would disappear again.

For fear that he would die without a word.

Having experienced a world without Eugene twice, they now shivered at the thought of it.

They felt like they wanted to lock Eugene up so that he wouldn’t go to dangerous places······.

But the fact that no one could tie Eugene down was something that everyone already knew.

All three of them had experienced firsthand the consequences of trying to tie him down, and they had learned it to the bone.

They would never make that mistake again.

“Don’t keep trying to sacrifice yourself!”

“I didn’t try to sacrifice myself, it was just something that only I could do at the time.”

“Don’t talk back without thinking······.”

“If I was the kind of person who would be discouraged by this much nagging, I wouldn’t have been able to be your lover.”

“That’s······ true······.”

Yerina’s tail wagged incessantly, and her ears twitched whenever Eugene’s gaze fell upon her.

Even though she seemed to be scolding him in a raised voice, it was difficult to hide the fact that she was in a good mood.

She would keep a certain distance, but when Eugene approached, she would close the distance.

“Hmph······.”

As Eugene’s hand reached out and caressed her, Yerina’s sensitive ears trembled.

Her expression melted away as she felt the sensation of her wolf ears being petted along with her head.

As her ears were gently stroked with both hands, Yerina’s face gradually turned into one of ecstasy, but then she suddenly came to her senses and stepped back.

“I, I still······! I have something to sort out! I’ll go ahead!”

Yerina turned around and walked away with a flushed face.

Then, as if she had forgotten something, she came back with her face still red and grabbed Eugene’s cheek.

And then, ah.

She put Eugene’s cheek in her mouth and bit down, leaving a slight mark.

Yerina, who had made sure that the mark was well-marked, finally left the break room with a satisfied face.

“······.”As she watched, Jill stroked Eugene’s cheek with a cold expression.

Then, a soft and warm breath of magic swept over her, and the mark disappeared.

It was the Saintess’s divine healing magic.

“Anyway, you only choose to do beastly things. I don’t mind the one on your neck, but why did you leave one on your cheek? Are you marking me as your prey and bragging about it to others? It’s annoying. You pretended to be on good terms, but you’ve dropped all pretenses, that woman.”

“I was the one who stripped her.”

“Hmm······. That was a good thing to do. I honestly hated seeing that woman act tough every time. I wonder if she felt pressured to be strong on her own because both Julia-nim and I were in danger······. She may seem strong, but she seemed to have a lot of worries buried in her heart, so I was worried, but I’m glad she’s gotten a lot better since Eugene came. Well. That little brat doesn’t seem to be adapting very well······.”

Jill rubbed her cheek on Eugene’s cheek, muttering bluntly.

She said she was annoyed and hated it, but her affection for Yurina seemed to be dripping.

While Eugene was away, the three of them were the only ones who could share their pain, confide in each other, and support each other.

Whether it was ugly or beautiful, they had no choice but to accept it all.

Eugene had returned to being a rival, but

It was all just competition within the game, and there was no competition to eliminate each other.

It was a strange relationship that was a mixture of rivalry and camaraderie.

“Haah······. Eugene doesn’t seem to have changed at all. Did you say it had only been ten days······?”

“It’s been about two weeks. When I came back, it had been over three years.”

“That’s really annoying······. So I’m older than Eugene now? How old is Eugene?”

“21 years old.”

“Oh? Then you’re still younger?”

“······?”

Eugene’s expression became blank.

Younger than 21?

It had been over three years?

Then, three years ago······?”

“What! How old were you when we first met!”

“W, sixteen years old······.”

“But how did you drink alcohol?!”

“Alcohol? Why alcohol?”

Seeing Jill’s bewildered reaction, Eugene thought, “Oh no.”

The culture of prohibiting underage drinking was not common everywhere.

Eugene felt dizzy.

‘Then, I, I······ was I really hitting on a 16-year-old that hard?’

Suddenly, her vision blurred and something heavy seemed to sink into her chest.

Guilt filled her chest in an instant, but as Jill pulled her close and her soft touch reached her arm, that guilt, all scattered and disappeared.

Well, she’s not a minor now, so it’s okay, right?

Eugene quickly rationalized.

“Do you hate me because I’m older······?”

“Of course not.”

She gently kissed Jill, who looked up at her with tears in her eyes.

At this, Jill’s face brightened again.

Eugene couldn’t bring herself to say that she originally preferred older men.

Tastes and ideals, they were always changing anyway.

It’s not like she falls in love just because he’s her ideal type, and there’s no rule that says she can’t love him if he’s not her ideal type.

She decided to just keep it a secret from Jill.

“Shall we go now?”

The break was almost over.

She took Eugene’s hand and led her, but Jill felt something was wrong and looked back.

Eugene didn’t seem to have any intention of moving from her seat.

“Do you want to go first?”

“······.”

Jill’s expression became slightly sharp.

The woman who had been standing like a screen without saying a word since earlier.

Jill’s gaze turned to Julia, who was fidgeting and wiggling her fingers.Anyway, Sookmak was not that kind of Sookmak.

I thought we had become quite close over the past three years.

I felt a little sad, but I decided to think of it as an innate nature.

I kissed Eugene lightly on the cheek, and I felt a little regretful.

I felt uneasy as I continued like this.

Did Yerina, who bit my cheek earlier, feel this way too?

I felt like I could understand her a little.

“You have to come quickly······.”

No. I still don’t understand.

Such barbaric and masculine methods are only used by the Suin.

Ji-il thought to herself and grabbed Eugene’s hand.

Eugene’s hand touched Ji-il’s clothes and wrapped around her softly.

The soft touch, as if her fingers were digging in, seeped between her fingers.

It was just the right size to be held in Eugene’s large hand.

And then about 2 seconds.

Ji-il’s face turned red as she realized she was feeling embarrassed, and she ran out of the break room.

“······.”

“······.”

As soon as the door closed, Julia moved quickly to lock the door.

Next was the barrier.

She spread a strong soundproof barrier and magic barrier in two or three layers.

Only then did Julia turn around, relieved, and let out a sigh.

Eugene flinched as he met her gaze.

Her face looked like she had been waiting for a long time and was running out of patience.

Eugene was pushed against the wall as he bumped into the elf who had rushed in, breathing heavily.

“Julia?”

“Haah······. Hwaah······.”

Julia’s persistent gaze, mixed with various desires, scanned Eugene’s body.

In an instant, her body temperature and the humidity in the room seemed to rise.

Despite the fact that elves are not prone to frequent emotional changes and agitation, Julia was in a state of extreme excitement.

“Eugene······ Was it you? The one who kissed me······.”

“Yes.”

“Somehow. Somehow it felt like Eugene······.”

Julia held Eugene’s hand and looked at it, talking nonsense.

This is the feeling.

This is the touch.

And······ These lips.

Her lips parted and saliva dripped down.

It was clear that she had only kissed him lightly, but Julia felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction when she saw Eugene’s lips covered in her saliva.

It seemed like she had forgotten how to kiss lightly.

“My ears······. Can you touch them?”

“I think you’ll hate it.”

“The Frost Lord also hated it.”

“He just pretended to hate it. He’s not honest, so he likes it when he’s touched.”

“Then I’ll just pretend. It’s okay to touch me anywhere if it’s Eugene.”

“······.”

“Eugene······. Did you prefer the immature ones?”

“Oh, no? Who, who said such nonsense?”

“Both the Saintess and the Frost Lord were under the age of adulthood three years ago. So I thought······.”

Julia took all the stories that the two women had been talking about and naturally brought Eugene’s hand to her chest.

Her eyes seemed to say, “I’m bigger than the Saintess.”

Eugene’s mind was dizzy at the question that came in at the same time.

‘Yerina was also under 17 three years ago······?’

There was nothing to say if this was really a preference for younger people.

Compared to that, how old was Julia?

The base was in the hundreds.

Julia’s expression looked gloomy for some reason.

“Would you believe me if I said that I actually prefer older men?”

“R, really?”

It was a preference for older men that was far beyond what she had thought, but anyway, it was still a preference for older men, so it didn’t matter.It wasn’t a lie.

Julia’s expression softened slightly as she met Eugene’s gentle eyes, as if to say that she couldn’t lie to someone she loved.

Ah. She’s still lovely.

It was painful for an elf who had lived for hundreds of years to be like this to a human who had only lived for about 20 years. It felt like she was preying on a naive child, like a pervert who was aroused by a child. Julia was comforted to realize that Eugene was not much different.

After all, I’m not the kind of pervert who is called a human pervert.

I just fell in love and it turned out to be a young human.

The order of events is wrong.

Julia believed it without a doubt.

“We’re kind of similar, aren’t we…? Right…?”

“······.”

Julia looked at Eugene with loving eyes and brought his hand to her ear.

An elf’s ear is a sensitive organ for detecting magic power, and it is said to be very sensitive and painful if it is pressed even slightly.

Even though Eugene rubbed it with some force, Julia only let out a moan instead of a scream.

What’s so similar?

Are you talking about the tendency to enjoy pain?

Eugene felt a moment of indescribable bewilderment.
